happy. Eventually, he and Dr. Holt agreed on a finding. It read, In part: The examiners do not believe that this patient has a psychosis but that she is a defective individual who become excited \vhen frustrated. She was not found to be in such a state of idiocy, insanity, or im- becility as to be incapable of understanding the charges against her or the proceedings or of making her defense. As it turned out, Mrs. Collins was shipped back to county jail, and a court- appointed lawyer advised her to plead guilty to both first- and second-degree assault; she was thereupon given a five- year suspended sentence on the first charge, and a six-month sentence on the second, which she is serving in the Nas- sau County Jail.
